It's one of the most overdone questions ever.

Seriously, search NeoGAF thread titles for "made you cry."

 

[Jintor]

what is game

It synced up nicely with Austin being completely over the concept of a game giving you feelings being a noteworthy thing on the Beastcast.

 

[justjim89]

I cried the first time I beat MGS3. It was 4 in the morning, and between Eva's monologue and that terribly sorrowful song that played over the credits, I lost it.

That and the end of TWD season 1.

Everyone knows the Souls rankings go

Dark Souls 1

A massive gap

Bloodborne
Demon's

An even BIGGER Gap

Dark Souls 2

I'm okay with this.

so, anyone has this problem where you pause a GB video, switch to another tab, switch back and as you move the cursor down to click on the video, you accidentally open one drop-down menu and click that? just did that

I do this all the effing time and it drive me nuts!

This along with The Citizen Kane of Games and Games Aren't Just For Kids are the perfect trifecta of people not taking games seriously.

I cry/tear up at good moments in movies and video games all the time, felt weird that they they were so adamant on it being a stupid question.

Example that gets me every time because of awesomeness, and I'm not even a LOTR fan: https://youtu.be/Z6XicBBN1l4?t=1m09s

The issue is that it's an asked and answered question. People shouldn't be surprised that any media (games included) can elicit an emotional response.

It's more about how it's phrased and what it's asking.

"What games have elicited emotional responses from you" is a lot different than "Has a game ever made you cry" where one can spawn some kind of possible discussion/recommendations and the other is just "yes/no"

 

[Jintor]

it's like being a good GM or lawyer, you gotta ask the right questions

 

[nckillthegrimace]

It synced up nicely with Austin being completely over the concept of a game giving you feelings being a noteworthy thing on the Beastcast.

I believe he said that taking something with you from a game that you carry forward into your life is way more important than just having an emotional response, and I think I agree. For example, That Dragon Cancer sounds like a miserable display of human suffering, but I don't know what amazing insight I gain from having that fact that cancer blows reinforced.

Conversely, Undertale is a silly game about wacky monsters, but I'm pretty sure I gleaned some stuff from that nonsense. Really great stuff that's more valuable than "I cried so games are art."

 

[The Technomancer]

I really like that Austin can apparently bring out that more thoughtful side from Vinny and especially Alex when they have discussions like that

 

[Jintor]

Yeah, I feel like Alex has been given a better venue to elucidate his thoughts more these days. I mean, him and Patrick were getting there before, but I think Patrick tended to lose focus on longer topics - he was always more newsman than analyst, I think.

some Fighting game thing. Probably because Jason put it there.

I think that's mostly a community thing. Fighting game tournaments were a regular thing on the site long before Jason arrived.

The only moment in any form of entertainment (books, tv, movies, games, music) that has ever made me cry is the last 15 or so minutes of Six Feet Under.

I watched all of Lost for the first time last year and it made me cry a little numerous times.

I know this is insane, but I finally finished reading the GB GOTY thread. Surreal.

I always loose it during the overture of any musical and at the sad part of most Pixar movies.

The only thing that made me cry about Lost was that I watched all of Lost.

The Constant is one of the best hours of TV ever made, despite being in Lost's latter, poorer seasons.

There are two ways to watch Lost. Watch it and be upset about how dumb it is, or watch it and embrace how stupid it is. I chose the latter.

Desmond was just a fantastic character all around. Such a wonderful addition to the show.

 

[Myggen]

3 hours until Project B.E.A.S.T. And then a The Witness QL and hopefully review. Good day.

Pixar are kind of pros at the whole tearjerking thing.

Yep, Henry Ian Cusick was completely fantastic

3 hours until Project B.E.A.S.T. And then a The Witness QL and hopefully review. Good day.

The Witness comes out on my birthday. Someone better buy it for me as a gift. The last game to come out on the 26th I wanted was Mass Effect 2. Got that as a present. It was fucking rad.

Now, I'm certain that The Witness won't have anything as rad as Mordin, but still. I'd look forward to almost anything that took seven years to make.

I loved Lost for all the mythology and tapestry of connections and references in the background, as well as the ARG stuff like the Dharma Initiative and how spoopy it was. Made discussions fun and I love looking through wiki page after wiki page learning about everything.

Bad Robot in general produces great ARGs. Cloverfield and Lost were a ton of fun to speculate about and read into.

 

[Twin Tails]

Everything excluding things I know for sure I'm getting through:

You should finish both seasons of SAO and then stare at yourself in the mirror and say "what am I doing?"

 

[danm999]

A Project B.E.A.S.T, a Witness QL and a public holiday tomorrow? What did I do to get so lucky!

 

[Data West]

Witness has the George Broussard seal of approval. That's a 5 star review right there.

 

[danm999]

I am a little concerned about the Witness' length.

I enjoyed the Talos Principle but that game was about a 1/3 too long.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Dat knowing look when Dan said glasses.

 

[mnz]

so, anyone has this problem where you pause a GB video, switch to another tab, switch back and as you move the cursor down to click on the video, you accidentally open one drop-down menu and click that? just did that

ALL. THE. TIME.

 

[demidar]

ALL. THE. TIME.

Same, it's really annoying and I think I've complained about it in a previous thread.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I am a little concerned about the Witness' length.

Don't worry, Blow said it'll be up to 100 hours lo..

I enjoyed the Talos Principle but that game was about a 1/3 too long.

Oh...

I'm totally with you btw.

I cry quite a lot at books and films, rarely TV shows but never games.

I am definitely a crier.

How was the Dan Dad QL thing?

i know vinny was only fucking around just trying to bull his way to the mun without even bothering to enter kerbin orbit 'cos he had already written off the mission, but i was practically shouting at my tv at that point

 

[Kelas]

How was the Dan Dad QL thing?

Only watched the first segment so far (ape escape 2) but it's real good

 

[Bowlie]

dunno if any of you backed it, but MN9 got delayed yet again

 

[MassiveNights]

How many weeks will it take Dan to realise he doesn't have to shout to talk to Jason anymore?

 

[Tubobutts]

The next time teaser on the newest Kerbal is so good.
